THE WORLD’S INDUSTRIAL AND COTTON CENTEN¬ 
NIAL EXPOSITION. 


The World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition was 
caused by a general desire among the more progressive agriculturists 
and industrialists of the cotton States to inaugurate an Exposition to 
commemorate the centennial anniversary of the first exportation of, 
cotton from America, and to provide a means whereby the people of,' 
all nations could obtain a knowledge of the resources, capacity, and 1 
products of, more especially, the Southern States of America, under| 
the joint auspices of the United States of America, the National Cot-i 
ton Planters’ Association, and the city of New Orleans. | 

One of the most important features will be the exposition of thoJ 
colored people in the South. This is the first public opportunity thatj 
has been given to them, to show the world the progress they have? 
made for themselves since their liberation from slavery.

THE EXHIBITION GROUNDS. 


HOW TO REACH THEM, AND PROVISIONS MADE FOR THE AC¬ 
COMMODATION OF VISITORS. 

The Exhibition Buildings are connected with the whole United 
States, by the leading railroads entering New Orleans, and running 
into an elegant depot at the grounds. 

They are also reached from Canal street, the Broadway of New Or¬ 
leans, by six street railroads, and by an elegant line of steamers leav-/ 
ing the foot of Canal street, every thirty minutes. There are ten en¬ 
trances to the Exhibition Grounds. 

The hours of admission will be from ten a. m. to ten p. m. ' 

The price of admission will be fifty cents, payable at any one of the 
gates; this charge admits the visitor to everything to be seen during 
the time he remains within the inclosure. 

An Electric Railroad, THREE MILES in length, encircles the 
entire ground, and running trains every few minutes, will carry pas¬ 
sengers at a small charge. This will be the longest electric railroad 
in the United States, and wiil well be worth taking a ride on. 

Rolling-chairs will be found in the principal buildings, and at des¬ 
ignated stations on the grounds for the convenience of invalids and 







AND NEW ORLEANS. 


9 


others who may desire their use, with attendants. The cost will he 
seventy-five cents for first hour, and every other hour fifty cents. 

Ordinary chairs and settees will be found located at convenient 
places in the buildings and grounds, free to all. 

Soda-water fountains have been located at covenient points within 
the principal buildings, and in pavillions on the ground. Charge per 
glass, 10 cents. 

Every convenience for the accommodation of visitors within the 
grounds has been made in the Public Comfort Building. Separate 
parlors for ladies and gentlemen, retiring rooms, shoe polishing, coat, 
and baggage rooms, where coats, small packages, and hand baggage 
will be checked and taken care of at a small cost. 

The Telegraph and Telephone Companies will have a central office 
and several branches,- on the grounds. 

There are over four miles in walks laid out in the park in shell 
and asphalt. 


GENERAL TOURS THROUGH THE GROUNDS AND 

BUILDINGS. 

The visitor will find it of the utmost importance that he should 
decide before leaving home, just what portions of the Exhibition he 
wishes to see and how he is to see it. To aid him in this most important 
work is one of the purposes of the Visitors’ Guide. If the visitor 
has sufficient time to enable him to examine all that the Exhibition 
contains, he can adopt the following plan. 

1st. Thoroughly acquaint himself with the plan and arrangement 
of the grounds and buildings, by a careful study of the Visitors’ 
Guide before leaving home. 

2d. On arriving on the grounds take a seat in one of the coaches 
of the Electric railway, which runs at frequent intervals, stopping at 
points of interest and at the front of the main building; the tour of 
the entire ground is thus made, occupying about thirty minutes, at a 
small cost. This will give one an excellent general view of the 
grounds and relative location of buildings. 

3d. Make a tour of all the leading avenues of each of the five 
principal Exhibition Buildings, and the Mexican Building. This will 
represent about thirty-five miles traversed in the buildings and con¬ 
necting avenues, occupying about four days for a rapid tour. On 
this tour the visitor will find places of refreshment of all kinds, at 
any of which he can obtain anything he may desire, at a moderate 
cost. 

4th. If preferable, he may take a rolling-chair instead of under¬ 
taking this general tour on foot. In either event he should provide 
himself with a note-book to make memorandum of points of interest 
to which he may desire to return for a more detailed examination. 

This plan of rapid general tours and inspection of the entire 
grounds and buildings, and of returning to places of special interest, 









10 


THE WORLD'S EXPOSITION 


will be found preferable to tbe common plan of an objectless loitering 
tour which will result in the visitor having no well-settled idea of what 
he has seen, and as the distances are immense, will probably result in his 
time being exhausted before he has traversed the main building. If 
the visitor especially desires to see the exhibits made by all nations, or 
of any one particular article, he should, before starting, take from the 
Official Catalogue of Exhibitors, in connection with map of the 
grounds and buildings contained in the Visitors’ Guide, and Official 
Catalogue, a memorandum showing the exact localities where he 
is to find the article he desires to see. The visitor will be guided if 
determining localities by the columns supporting the roofs of tfc 
buildings which are both lettered and numbered. 

If the visitor desires to see any special exhibit he will find it l 
consulting the Official Catalogue, which can be had in separate parti 
for the Main Building, Art Gallery, etc. It will be especially need* 
in the Art Gallery, as the paintings and statuary are only numbere/ 
and the name and name of artist are found only in catalogue.

IS 



THE MAIN BUILDING. 


The main building is the largest ever erected. It is 1,378 feet 
long by 905 feet wide, without courts, and has a continuous roof com¬ 
posed largely of glass so arranged as to afford an abundance of light 
without subjecting the interior to the direct rays of the sun. Within, 
the view is unobstructed. From one side or corner of the building to 
its opposite, the interior, showing all phases of industrial activity, is 
seen. There are no partitions, and the lofty pillars, wide apart, sup¬ 
porting the roof structure, present no impediment to one's vision, but 
only serve to assist the eye in measuring the vast expanse. The inte¬ 
rior is surrounded by wide and spacious galleries, twenty-three feet 
high, which are reached by twenty elevators having the most approved 
safety appliances, and by convenient stairways. 

The machinery department occupies a space of 1,378 feet long by 
300 feet wide, within the main building, and has an extension added 
in iron 350 feet long and 150 feet wide for heavy machinery, described 
under the heading of Factories and Mills. From the galleries over¬ 
looking more than two miles of shafting can be seen driving every 
I known character of machinery. 

Music Hall, with a seating capacity, in commodious chairs, for 
11,000 people, a platform capacity for 600 musicians, and a mammoth 
organ, built to order for the Exposition, occupies the center of the 
interior. 

The main building will contain general exhibits. It is situated 
(as will be seen by the park plan published herewith) about in the 
center of the grounds. 

The main building will contain the general exhibit, the foreign 
exhibit, the machinery exhibit, and agricultural exhibit. 

Visitors can alight from carriages on St. Charles avenue, or in front 
of the grand main entrance at the head of Magazine street. 

From the balconies and tower visitors will have a fine view of the 
grounds. 

Two hundred and fifty thousand square feet of space in the center 
I of the building will contain the foreign exhibit. The foreign Com¬ 
missioners have offices adjacent to their respective exhibits. 

When the visitor has traversed all the avenues on the ground 
floor and galleries, he will have walked twenty-five miles. 














14 THE WORLD’S EXPOSITION 



UNITED STATES AND STATE EXHIBITS. 


This building is 885 feet long by 565 feet wide. It is one of the 
largest exposition buildings ever erected. At the time of the adoption 
of the plans it was supposed that the main building, having the 
largest capacity of any building heretofore erected, in conjunction 
with the Horticultural Hall and such minor outside buildings as were 
necessary, would afford ample space and accommodation for all 
exhibits; but the interest in the World’s Exposition had become so 
widespread, and the inquiries and applications for space became so 
numerous, that the necessity for additional accommodation became 
imperative, and the management determined upon the erection of this 
magnificent structure especially for the United States and State 
exhibits. The Government exhibition will be complete—of itself, 
almost a mammoth exposition. Each department will have its dis¬ 
tinctive exhibit. The Department of State showing samples of cot¬ 
ton, wool and cosmos fibers, and of the fabrics made from them, from 
all parts of the world. This exhibit will be arranged in continental 
groups representing tbe geographical divisions of the world’s com¬ 
merce, etc. The Post-office Department will exhibit all the improve¬ 
ments in mail facilities, and establish a branch office in the building 
for the accommodation of visitors, and to show the practical workings 
of the Postal System. The Treasury Department will exhibit coast 
survey, light-housing, life-saving service, customs, internal revenue, 
engraving, printing, etc. The War Department will show arms, 
ordnance, engineering, medical, surgical, and hospital services, progress 
in same, etc. The Navy Department will show naval arms, ordnance, 
projectiles, torpedoes, dynamo-electro machines for firing, models of 
war vessels—ancient and modern, etc. The Interior Department, 
everything pertaining to the inventions and improvements in Ameri¬ 
can industries, and to the history, customs, and habits of the aborigi¬ 
nal races, etc. The United States Fishery Commission, the Depart¬ 
ment of Justice, Bureau of Agriculture, the Bureau of Education, 
and especially the Smithsonian Institute, will be exhaustively repre¬ 
sented. The Government exhibit will vastly exceed that made at 
Philadelphia. In addition to the Government exhibit, the collective 
State exhibits and the general educational display, will be located in 
this building. This structure presents a very attractive appearance. 































AND NEW ORLEANS. 


15 


Every State and Territory in the United States will be fully repre¬ 
sented, including Alaska. The various State Commissions have been 
actively at work for the past four months with the aid of local Com¬ 
missions m each county in their respective State, and the States and 
United States exhibits will be the finest ever made. 





THE HORTICULTURAL HALL. 


The Horticultural Hall is 600 feet in length and 194 feet wide 
through its center. It is the largest conservatory in the world. It is 
substantially built as a durable structure, becoming, by arrangement 
with the city, a permanent feature of the park. It is located on high 
ground in the midst of live-oak groves. Surmounting the center is a 
magnificent tower, 90 feet high, roofed with glass. Beneath this 
tower, in constant play, is a grand fountain. Twenty thousand plates 
of fruit, double the amount ever before displayed at any exposition, 
will be shown on tables extending through the hall. Around the hall 
will be arranged an infinite variety of rare tropical and semi-tropical 
plants, flowers, and shrubbery. There is a tropical hot-house, 250 feet 
long by 25 feet wide, in which the most delicate flowers from the Far 
South will be nurtured and made to bloom in their most brilliant per¬ 
fection. Tropical fruits in the various stages of growth will be 
exhibited. Fruits of every section, and the productions of all sea¬ 
sons will, by arrangement for stated supplies and thorough processes 
of cold storage, be available for exhibit. 

The most eminent horticulturists of the United States are engaged 
in arranging and perfecting the display. Cash premiums to the 
amount of $82,000 are offered in this department, and contributions to 
its exhibits from Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and the 
different States of the Union will be unprecedently large and varied. 

Horticultural Hall will certainly be one of the most attractive 
buildings on the grounds for the visitor, as it contains all the rare 
plants, fruits, and flowers of the tropics. Such an exhibit will be 
well worth the trip to New Orleans. Beside the display, the Mexican 
Garden, Central American Garden, Florida Garden, and California 
Garden will be representative gardens well worth seeing.

THE WORLD'S EXPOSITION 



THE ART GALLERY. 



The Art Gallery is 250 feet long by 100 feet wide. It is a struct¬ 
ure built of iron. The building is an elegant and artistic structure, 
so arranged for mounting, accessibility, and light as to present the best 
effects, and with ample accommodation for as large a collection as was 
ever exhibited on this hemisphere. It will be fire-proof—even the 
partitions being of iron. 

Very satisfactory reports have been received from the commis¬ 
sion in Europe, and from the State Commissions, in regard to the 
art display. Some of the finest paintings of the. Old World will be 
secured. A special commission has been in Europe since May, and it 
is expected that an annex as large as the-Art Gallery will be needed. 
For the lover of art, this will be a rare chance [to see the leading 
pictures of the Old World and the New. 


FACTORIES AND MILLS. 


This is a large iron building 350 feet long by 120 feet wide. In it 
will be exhibited cotton in all stages of manipulation from the boll 
to the bale. The newly invented “ Cotton Pickers, Openers, and 






















































































AND NEW ORLEANS .

Lappers, as well as the various and complex machinery for ginning, 
cleaning, haling, and compressing, will be in constant operation. The 
supply of field cotton for this purpose will be abundant. 

In addition to cotton machinery this extension of Machinery Hall 
will contain the various kinds of machinery used in the rolling of 
cane and manufacture of sugar, and in the harvesting and milling of 
rice. 

\ arious kinds of factory and mill machinery for wood-working, 
brick and tile making, etc., will be located in this structure. Adja¬ 
cent to this building there will be a line of saw-mills, extending 
toward the river, showing forty saw-mills in motion. 

There are thousands of persons, in the United States alone, that 
have never seen a cotton-field or a sugar plantation. Adjoining this 
building will be a field of cotton, thus enabling the visitor to see 
the cotton growing in all its stages, from the bloom to the bursted 
pod, and on the inside from the ginning to the finest cotton fabric.

AND NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS. 






New Orleans which, according to the census of 1880, was the tenth 
city in point of population of the United States, is situated on the east 
side of the Mississippi river, a distance of 107 miles from the Gulf of 
Mexico. 

In extent, it is the largest city in the world—covering an area of 
155 square miles, or six square miles more than London, which is 149, 
and over seven times the area of New York, and 26 square miles more 
than Philadelphia. It has 650 miles of streets, and is lighted by 
4,599 gas lamps, 2,000 oil lamps, and 482 electric lights. 

In commercial importance it is the fourth city in the United 
States. 


Among the leading points of interest in New Orleans are: The 
City park. Exposition Grounds, the French Market, United States Mint, 
Custom House, the Old St. Louis Cathedral, Chalnette, the battle¬ 
grounds of New Orleans, where Jackson won his famous victory over 
the English; the old Parish Prisons, the Sugar Sheds and Levee; 
the Lee, Clay, Jackson, Franklin, and Marquette Monuments; the 
Spanish Fort, West End, and Milneburg and Lake Pontchartrain. 

New Orleans was settled by French emigrants in 1718, who 
formed a colony in 1769 ; the colony was ceded to the Spanish Crown 
and remained under that dominion until 1801, when it again became 
subject to the French rule, in 1803. Napoleon I. sold Louisiana, and 
with it the city of New Orleans, to the United States for $15,000,000. 

The original limits of New Orleans were laid out by Bienville’s 
surveyors extending along the river front about one mile and four 
squares in depth. The old Place d’Armes (now Jackson Square) was 
nearly in the center of the river front. 

From this small beginning, the limits of New Orleans have been 
extended from time to time by natural expansion and the annexa¬ 
tion of suburban settlements, till it has now a front on the Mississippi 
river, from the Barracks to the upper limits of Carrolton, a distance 
of fifteen miles, and by draining and filling, the four squares in depth 
have stretched themselves from three and a half to four miles to the 
shores of Lake Pontchartrain. 


The population of the city, in 1718, numbered only 118, while to¬ 
day it contains a population of over 250,000. 

The design of this book does not permit an extended article on the 
industries or other details of interest in connection with the city’s 
past and present history. It is the intention here to present only 
these few general points of interest, and to give hereafter, in the 
proper places as set forth in the index, all the plain facts that will be 
of value to the visitor to the city, during the World’s Exposition. 

The map of the city that accompanies this book should be carefully 
studied by the visitor, which, together with the other information, 
after a careful perusal, will make it easy for the visitor to find any 
place of interest he desires.

tering the car. Railroads are responsible for the safe carrying of bag¬

it is checked. Their responsibility is limited to $100 per package, in 
event of loss or damage, except in case of special contract.

lighted. 

Elegant Drawing-room, Palace, Sleeping, and Magnificent 
Dining-room Cars are attached to all through trains, for the accom¬

Travelers can buy newspapers and cigars, nuts, fruits, etc., on 
nearly all the trains from the train newsboys.

return will be sold at every place of importance in the United States, 
Canada, and Mexico, and in all the principal cities in the world. 

Special rates will be made for associations and clubs to visit the 
Exposition. 

_ As a general rule the railroad fares are the same between the same 
points by all routes, without regard to the comparative distances by 
each; the maximum rate of railroad fare in the United States is three 
cents per mile. 

Travelers approaching New Orleans by rail can have their baggage 
delivered to any hotel, boarding-house, or residence, as an authorized 
agent of the New Orleans Transfer Co., passes through the train just 
before its arrival, who will take up your baggage check, and will give 
you a transfer check in place of it, thus insuring a prompt delivery 
of your baggage. He also sells bus tickets to hotels or residences. 

All trains in the United States are now run on the new Standard 
time. 

All trains make regular stops for meals at proper intervals, allow¬ 
ing thirty minutes for same; prompt notice is given before starting. 

Accident insurance tickets can be bought at all railway ticket

INFORMATION FOR TRAVELERS BY SEA. 


CARRY AS LITTLE BAGGAGE AS POSSIBLE. 

Travelers should procure from their banker circular letters of 
credit and avoid carrying much money on their persons. It is, also, 
advisable that they should exchange the funds of the country they are 
in for the funds of the country to which they are bound at the place 
of starting. 

As a rule, purchase tickets only to the point of embarkation. 

Travelers will find their comfort enhanced if they purchase and 
take with them chairs for their personal use during the voyage. 

The Captain exercises absolute authority on board ship. Trav¬ 
elers desiring information should apply to the purser. 

Cabin passengers are allowed on any part of the vessel. Inter¬ 
mediate and steerage are not allowed aft the smoke-stack. Smoking 
allowed only on the upper deck and in the smoking-room. 

Seats at table on shipboard are usually attended to by the stew¬ 
ard, and should be selected before leaving port. 

Lights are usually extinguished in the saloons at lip. M., and 
in staterooms at 11:30. 

Travelers who are inconvenienced by sea-sickness will be bene¬ 
fited by sucking an orange or lemon in their berths before rising in 
the morning. A little good brandy or whisky is very beneficial. An 
experienced surgeon is attached to each ship, and medicine and 
attendance furnished free. 

On all steamships it is customary for cabin passengers to pay a 
gratuity of from $1 to $5 to the stewards, according to the amount of 
attention received. 

Do not leave articles of value lying loosely about in your state¬ 
room. 

Do not play cards for money without you have a good supply to 
lose. 

Divine service is generally held on Sunday, and is open to every 
person on board, but no one is compelled to attend if he does not wish. 

Before arriving at an American port, the traveler should procure 
from the purser a form of baggage entry, from which he can ascertain 
what articles are dutiable. The baggage entry should be filled up and 
handed to the custom officer, who will examine the baggage and col¬ 
lect the duties upon the arrival of the vessel in port. 

Do not offer to pay fees to Custom-house officers. 

By complying strictly with custom regulations travelers are safe 
from annoyances. 

In cases of trouble or dissatisfaction the traveler should apply 

direct to the General Office of the Steamship Company. 

At all American ports an authorized agent of a transfer company 
will meet the traveler upon arrival, and attend to the delivery of bag¬ 
gage to any of the depots, hotels, boarding-houses, or residences. 
Careful directions should be given the agent to prevent mistakes. 

Travelers taking cabs or hacks should read the printed tariff which 
is pasted in all public vehicles, and see that they are not imposed 
upon.

Visitors will find it to their advantage to engage rooms by tele¬ 
graph or mail. On arrival, the visitor should register his name and 
procure his room and private parlor, if desired. Each hotel has a 
public parlor, open to all guests. No fee to waiters or servants is 
necessary. Money or valuables should he deposited in a safe in the 
oifice of the hotel. If left in the room they are at owner’s risk. A 
printed tariff with rules is to be found on the door of each room. 

All first-class hotels have steam elevators and electric hells, to 
connect the room with office for the use of guest. Physicians can he 
procured by application at office. Telegraph office, hook or newspaper 
stand (at which seats can be secured for the places of amusement), 
barber shop, wash room, reading room, billiard room, bar, cigar 
stand, and a coat room (where one can leave overcoat or hand bag¬ 
gage, and receive a check for it, free), are connected with all first- 
class hotels. 

New Orleans hotels are conducted on two plans: 

The American Plan charges the visitor a fixed rate per day, 
which pays for meals, lodgings, and attendance. Pour meals are 
served a day ( i.e ., breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper), in the dining¬ 
room used by all guests. The head waiter receives the guests, and 
assigns them to seats at the table. The guest can select anything 
desired from a printed bill of fare. An extra charge is made for wine 
and liquors, and meals sent to rooms. Separate dining-rooms are 
prepared for nurses and children, at reduced rates. If occupying 
seats at regular table, full rates are charged. 

The European Plan charges the visitor a fixed rate per day, 
which pays for his room and lodging only. Meals are served at a 
restaurant connected with the hotel. A printed bill of fare is used, 
having fixed prices for each item. The visitor orders what he 
wants, and pays for what he gets. 

There are over ten thousand regular boarding and lodging-houses 
in New Orleans; besides, a large number of persons will rent rooms 
to visitors. For a list of rooms and prices, call on Mr. Walslie, Chief 
of Accommodation at the Exposition. City office, 164 Gravier street, 
opposite the St. Charles Hotel. A list of persons who will entertain 
and accommodate colored persons, will be found at the same place. 
No charge is made for any information desired. 

A most excellent idea for persons who expect to remain a month 
or longer, would be to write to some friend or correspondent, in New 
Orleans, to engage suitable rooms, with breakfast only. This will 
enable the visitors to attend the Exposition and stay in the inclosure 
from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m., as they will find splendid restaurants, where 
they can get lunch and dinner at any hour, at a very reasonable 
price, and if they desire they can come to Canal street for a six 
o’clock dinner, and attend the theater without loss of time, or paying 
for meals in two places. 

The temperature of New Orleans from December to May aver¬ 
ages about 65° Fahr., but is very damp, especially at night and morn¬ 
ing, and no person should go out in the morning without a cup of 
coffee or a light breakfast. Therefore, it will be a most excellent plan

to get your breakfast where you lodge, and lunch, dinner, and supper, 
wherever you happen to be.

In addition to the above the managers of the Exposition will erect 
two large hotels, in close proximity to the grounds, to accommodate 
1,000 visitors each, besides over two thousand boarding-houses, that can 
. accommodate from ten to forty persons each, at prices varying from 
$1.00 to $2.50 per day. Mr. Walshe, the Chief of Information and 
Accommodation, office at No. 164 Gravier street, will furnish to any 
one who calls a list of persons that will entertain visitors, with num¬ 
ber they can accommodate, and prices. Several other hotels are 
now in progress, which will undoubtedly be built, thus assuring full 
accommodation for all that may come. 

Note.— All the largest hotels have a large number of furnished 
rooms, close to the hotels, hence, the number of rooms given in above 
table are only those in the hotel proper.

CEMETERIES. 


To the stranger visiting New Orleans for the first time, one of the 
most interesting places to see are the Cemeteries, from the novelty of 
their construction. The tombs and vaults nearly all being wholly 
above ground in the shape of ovens. This is caused by not being able 
to dig graves, owing to the fact that they become filled with water, 
caused by the ground, on which the city is built, being lower than 
the water in the Mississippi River.

(Reached by Rampart and Uauphine cars.)

No visitor to New Orleans should fail to visit the old St. Louis 
Cathedral, on Chartres street, between St. Ann and St. Peter, the 
third of the name that has been erected on its site. The first, a small 
abode, built in 1718, about the date of the founding of New Orleans; 
;he second, in 1725, and the present one in 1788, which was erected 
wholly through the liberality of Colonel Don Andres A1 m on ester y 
Roxas, a wealthy Spaniard. The three altars are masterpieces cf re¬ 
ligious expression in their design. The ceiling is rrescoed in the 
higher artistic style. The centerpiece represents the Transfiguration. 
Behind the main altar is a grand semi-historic picture, representing 
3t. Louis, presenting the Crusaders with a banner. It was executed 
by Brumbracht.
